Xavier HLAVACEKFounder and director of "Le Lotus Blanc®", Traditional Thai Massage & Energy Arts School.
He is an Instructor and Registered Thai Therapist, working for thalassotherapy centres and several establishments.
Xavier Hlavacek began to study martial arts when he was 8 years old and has been studying Karate-Do during 10 years, as well as an interest in yoga. As a teenager, he met many people involved in the esoteric world and spiritual practices, so all these conditions led him to get more and more interest for energetic practices. In 1998 he became interested in Chinese internal arts such as Qi Gong and Tai Ji Quan which he has been teaching during 9 years in Poitiers, France.
In the early 2000 years he discovered the traditional massage techniques and became enthusiastic about Korean Relaxation and Traditional Thai Massage.
Since his first journey to Thailand in August 2006 and his meeting with ″Coocky″ Tassanee Boonsom, he is mainly specialising in the practice and teaching of Traditional Thai Massage as well as in Abdominal Detox Massage, also known as Chi Nei Tsang. There he attended several schools internationally renowned such as the Old Medicine Hospital, Sunshine Massage School and of course LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga.
Between 2008 and 2014 Xavier mainly lived in Chiang Mai where he co-directed LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga with Coocky and taught there to many students coming from different countries. During that time, Xavier has also completed several courses of OsteoThai with David Lutt, co-founder of this technique, and has begun to study Kundalini Yoga with Siri Shabd Singh.
Today Xavier Hlavacek is the official representative in France of LoiKroh Traditional Thai Massage & Yoga, massage school based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He continues to co-direct this school with Tassanee Boonsom and to teach there 1 or 2 months per year.
